Explanation

Buddha gave his first sermon, 'Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta' (Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dharma), at Sarnath (near Varanasi) to the five ascetics who had accompanied him during his ascetic practices. Lumbini is his birthplace, Bodh Gaya is where he attained enlightenment, and Sanchi has later Buddhist stupas but not the first sermon.
